Well, I have been neglecting my blog, so I thought I would start with something new and exciting! Argentine Tango lessons! That's right. I got back from Oklahoma and my hubby showed me the link on GRNOW to take lessons! Here is the website for Argentine Tango lessons in Grand Rapids, Michigan: http://www.grtango.org/
Our instructors are Dave and Dawn! Can I just say I am in love!?!?!? We were at the studio for over two hours and it just flew by! The Beginner class is 1 1/2 hours and then followed by "Practica" where you can practice what you have just learned.
Here is a little information from their website about the instructors:
Dawn and Dave Kasper have been dancing tango for 4 years and teaching beginners for 2 years. They have taken workshops with Marika Landry, Luciana Valle, and Jaimes Fiedgen, Maximiliano Gluzman, Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo, and the famous milonguero Tete Rusconi.
Dave’s engineering background gives him a keen eye for the mechanics of the lead and follow and Dawn’s physical therapy background gives her insight in to the “anatomy of the dance”. Dawn and Dave believe that dancing the tango is about the joy of connecting with your partner and the music. As the beloved Tete said, “when you dance tango you feel like you are flying above the clouds.”
I can't wait until next week!
